On Wisconsin! You delicious state of being… with cheese
On Wisconsin! Broccoli Cheese Soup
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
**2 1/2 cups water
3 cans chicken broth — about 4 cups (I use one box of Swanson Organic Chicken Broth)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
16 ounces frozen chopped broccoli — thawed and drained
1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped — finely chopped
8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese — sharp or extra sharp
2 tablespoons chopped chives — or green onion tops
1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir 30 seconds or until bubbly. Add cream, water, broth, salt, mustard and cayenne pepper; bring to a simmer over high heat, stirring frequently. Add broccoli and red pepper; return to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer uncovered 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Add cheese; stir over low heat just until cheese melts (do not boil). Top with chives if desired.
**For a thicker soup, cut back the water by one cup -
6 servings.

What is ThickNThin?
It Is a starch Replacement can buy at netrition.com
This sounds yummy! I'm guessing you meant "ThickNThin" and not flour in step #1? And the recipe title says it's a crockpot recipe, but the directions use the stovetop?
Netrition states that the seller of this product is no longer in business. Any recommendations for a replacement product? THANKS!
You could either use xanthan or try LC Foods here: http://lcfoodscorp.com/lc-thickn-saucy-gravy-maker?keyword=thickener&category_id=0

I am sad to see ThicknThin go, but thankfully, we have other options!
this is not a vegan soup.. it has chicken broth in it..
Thank you for the correction! I will fix the error. I was trying to funnel through a lot of recipes quickly and appreciate the catch.
3 tablespoons of xanthan?
That was an error. Skip any thickeners. You likely won’t even need them.
The instructions say combine butter and flour?
Derp! I will fix that. I removed it since I also remove the thickener from the recipe. Thanks for the heads up!
Is there something else to this I don’t think mine came out right. I reduced the water and omitted the red peppers, but everything else I followed to a “T”??????
How did yours come out?
Is this supposed to be made in the crock pot or on the stove?
I make mine in the crockpot, but there’s no reason you couldn’t make yours on the stove or in the oven.
Made this stove top last night to rave reviews from the whole gang.
Would you, could you, pretty please post crockpot directions, too? I’m a crockpot novice ya’ see…
Hi, Jenn! I’d guess low for 4-6 hours would be more than enough. Too high a heat or for too long and the cream can curdle.
Thanks, Jamie
